Terry, who won five Premier League titles during his time at Chelsea, rejected a move to Spartak Moscow for family reasons earlier this season and he has also been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge on Maurizio Sarri's coaching staff.

The 37-year-old notably thanked Villa in his retirement announcement, although he indicated his "heart will always belong to Chelsea".
